Re: Insanowar Central/Sign up Thread

Hello once again, thread.

Wolfbane and I have been pondering starting yet another Defender-type game, with us as the defenders (he just can't get enough of it ). Rules would be similar, with a few differences (spoiler contains map):

Spoiler

Show

There is only one Defender Fortress, used by both of them, which is in black on the right, and the Attacker Bases are in red on the left. Dark red is towers, as always. I like to keep my maps consistent, color-wise.

Most of the ground (lighter brown) is very rocky, making travel difficult, especially for vehicles.

The darker brown is a much smoother set of dried-up waterways, linking the Defenders and the Attackers.

The Defender Fortress is built on the side of a mountain, and the black stripe down part of the map is where the ascent begins.

The Defenders only have one artifact in this version, with the following powers: Invulnerability (every other turn), Healing (every other turn), and Power Surge (gives a unit a 1-turn surge in attack power. two turn cooldown). The artifact is kept at an altar within the base, specifically at the yellow circle on the map.

Finally, the main difference is that this game is a Veterans game. Unfortunately it is not open for new players, as half of a player's picks must be that player's picks from older games. The last half can be new.

Happy is willing to GM, but given certain issues, we're looking for a secondary GM.

Re: Insanowar Central/Sign up Thread

Well...I'm afraid an all-new player is impossible in this one, sorry. In the description. =/ As for co-GM, I would prefer someone with more experience with playing or at least observing the game. Admittedly I don't know if you've been lurking or not.

Re: Insanowar Central/Sign up Thread

Well, I would, if not for the fact that the restriction on people means that I'd have to use my fate/stay night characters.....AGAIN.....which everyone'll be long sick of by then. So I guess I'll have to pass this time.

Re: Insanowar Central/Sign up Thread

Huh. Thanks, I guess? Anyway, which ones have you been in, out of curiosity?

@Bahumat: Yeah, concept's not really friendly for people who already repeat picks, sorry.

He was in this one , Sadly one of the member absconded the game fairly early (not the tower) so it never finished.

well, I don't believe in the gently gently approach.

Re: Insanowar Central/Sign up Thread

Well I'll play to make up numbers, if you want. I'm not much of a writer but I do have some good ideas, and I promise not to chuck my whole base at you.

Re: Insanowar Central/Sign up Thread

In a pretty much complete opposite vein from you two, would anyone be interested in a 'Sanowar' game, where you pick generally plausible armies (preferrably sci-fi but whatever it is, it's capabilities have to be known by me as the GM pre-game. If you want to keep things hidden, use PMs.) and the battles are played out with actual strategy and tactics prevailing. It'd have plenty of GM-judging on the plans, or perhaps even a structure where everyone sends their plans in, with secrets in PMs, and the GM posts an 'end of turn' where he meshes together everything that happens simultaneously.

This sounds awesome, but your need a detailed map top do this effectively. While I'm not volunteering to play, I am happy to discuss any plan with the d.m if he can't decide what wins.

Re: Insanowar Central/Sign up Thread

Yeah. I'm really bad at any art whatsoever, map-building included. I spent a few minutes working on Paint for an example four-player map to draw some comments. From the look of it, tactics would have to be more overlay-command and less squad-micromanagement... at least if they plan on including map aspects.

And it's a bit small. Probably not any huge conflicts here.
